They are two different releases, but both are superb. _Future Funk_ is more
aimed at the dancefloor, while _Voltage Control_ is more in the
experimental/listening vein. Both are subtly melodic, beautiful records - a
change from a lot of the hyper-minimal stuff on Ferox.

Well, as I said earlier, it's mostly minimal, tracky stuff. The only
one I've bought so far has been Blue Arsed Fly's _In The Bag_ EP. It's a
collaboration between Cristian Vogel and Neil Landstrumm,
but I got it for the Russ Gabriel mix - a delicate, slightly jazzy
Detroit techno-house wonder. Gabriel has just burst on the scen fairly
recently, but his productions are really brilliant.

can't imagine. That is techno at its best. If you hear something that
you'd never expect to hear - that's techno. If you hear something that
kind of sounds like you've heard it before, then it's not techno."
